Everything else is secondary.記著你總會(huì)死去，這是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳辦法。赤條條來(lái)去無(wú)牽掛，還有什么理由不 隨你的心？你的時(shí)間是有限的，因此不要把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在過別人的生活上。不要被教條所困 使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。不要讓他人的意見淹沒了你自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是，要有勇氣跟隨你 的內(nèi)心與直覺，它們好歹已經(jīng)知道你真正想讓自己成為什么。其他的，都是次要的。2005年5月21日There ar

7、 2006 年 5 月 6 日You must believe in yourself and in your work. When our first Batman movie broke all those box-office records, I received a phone call from that United Artists exec who, years before, had told me I was out of my mind. Now he said,“ Michael, I'm just calling to congratulate you on

8、the successof Batman. I always said you were a visionary." You see the point hedon't believe them whenthey tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, don't believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great your ideas are. Just believe in yoursel

9、f and you'll do just fine. And, oh yes, don't then forget to market yourself and your ideas. Use both sides of your brain.You must have a high threshold for frustration. Take it from the guy who was turned down by every studio in Hollywood. You must knock on doors until your knuckles bleed.

10、Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again. It's the only way to achieve your goals in life.你必須相信你自己，對(duì)自己的工作充滿信心。當(dāng)我們的第一部電影蝙蝠俠創(chuàng)下史無(wú)前例的票 房紀(jì)錄時(shí)，我接到了藝術(shù)家聯(lián)合會(huì)會(huì)長(zhǎng)的電話，他在數(shù)年之前曾說(shuō)我瘋了。如今他說(shuō)：邁克爾，我給你打電話祝賀蝙蝠俠的成功。我總說(shuō)你是一位有遠(yuǎn)見的人。"你看，關(guān)鍵在這里，當(dāng)他們說(shuō)你有多差，你的想法有多糟的時(shí)候，不要信他們的話，同

11、時(shí)，當(dāng)他們告訴你你有多么了不起，你的想法 多美妙時(shí)，也不要相信他們。你就只相信你自己，這樣你就能做好。還有，那就是，不要忘記推銷你 自己和你的想法。左右大腦你都得用。要能經(jīng)受得住挫敗。這是被好萊塢每一家制片廠拒絕過的人的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。你必須去敲一扇扇的門，直 到指關(guān)節(jié)流血。大門會(huì)在你面前砰然關(guān)上，你必須重振旗鼓，彈去身上的灰塵，再敲下一扇門。這是 實(shí)現(xiàn)你人生目標(biāo)的唯一辦法。美國(guó)名校畢業(yè)典禮演講之4.

To everyone else, it's just a blip on the radar screen, so just move on.如果你一生都在睡覺，你的夢(mèng)想是否實(shí)現(xiàn)就無(wú)關(guān)緊要了。問你自己一個(gè)問題：如果我不是必須做得完美，那我還努力什么呢？沒有人會(huì)像你自己那樣對(duì)自己的失敗那么在意。你是唯一一個(gè)能追求自己的生活意義的人。 對(duì)于其他所有人來(lái)說(shuō)，你只是雷達(dá)熒光

Yet, the little bee gets those wings going like a turbo-jet and flies to every plant its ch

19、ubby little body can land on to collect all the nectar it can hold.Bumblebees are the most persistent creatures. They don't know they can't fly, so they just keep buzzing around.Never give in to pessimism. Don't know that you can't fly, and you will soar like an eagle. Don't end

20、up regretting what you did not do because you were too lazy or too frightened to soar. Be a bumblebee! And soar to the heavens. You can do it.無(wú)論怎么考量，大黃蜂從空氣動(dòng)力學(xué)上講是不健全、不應(yīng)該會(huì)飛的。但是，這種小蜜蜂卻像渦輪 噴氣飛機(jī)一樣地展翅飛行，飛到它圓乎乎的身體能夠降落的任何植物上去采蜜。大黃蜂最堅(jiān)韌的生靈，它們不知道自己不能飛，因此它們只管到處嗡嗡地飛個(gè)不停。千萬(wàn)不要悲觀。不知道你不會(huì)飛，你會(huì)像鷹一樣高高飛翔。不要到頭來(lái)后悔自己因?yàn)樘珣谢蛱?

22、ck to what you're doing.I'm not warning against learning many things on many subjects. My warning is against distraction, whether you invite it or just let it happen. In baseball, high-percentage hitters know better: it's “focus " they talk abouthan prize it as much as strength. Psy

23、chologists describe skilled rock climbers and tennis players and pianists as going beyond focus, to what they have called a "flow " experience, a sense of absorption with the rock or the ball or the music in which the “me versus it " disappears and there's a kind of oneness with t

24、he task that brings a joyful higher awareness, as well as successful performance. I've had these experiences, too little but not too late, and probably you have, too.

What is the secret to developing your own brand of

28、 self-confidence?First, you must resolve to grow intellectually, morally, technically, and professionally every day through your entire work and family life. You need to ask yourself every day: Am I really up to speed or falling behind? Am I still learning? Or am I just doing the same stuff on a dif

29、ferent day or as Otis Redding sings, a Sitting on the dock of the bay. watching the tide roll away?"The lust for learning is age-independent.Another important way to build your confidence is to seek out the toughest jobs, the most daunting scientific, engineering or management challenges.我在通用公司為一個(gè)名叫杰克韋爾奇的家伙工作了20年。他既是一位偉大的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，也是一位偉大的導(dǎo)師，過去是，現(xiàn)在也是。如果我必須找出那些年里他充滿激情地對(duì)我說(shuō)的最主要的話，那就 是：自信是最重要的，它是成功必不可少的，是所有在其他多數(shù)方面才能也許大相徑庭的偉大領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者 的共同特征。如何獲得自信？培養(yǎng)你特有的自信的秘訣是什么？首先，你必須下決心每天都通過你的工作和家庭生活去獲得智力、道德、技術(shù)與專業(yè)上的提高。 你需要每天問自己：我是在加速前進(jìn)還是在后退？我還在學(xué)習(xí)嗎？我是在每天重復(fù)做同樣的事情或就像奧蒂斯 瑞汀所唱的那樣，坐在海灣的碼頭上，看潮起潮落” ？對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)的渴望是
